FIRST STAGE
The MV 12S is equipped with the new MR12S
T
first stage.
New first stage, with a nickel- and chrome-plated brass body, stands out from previous versions because of its size
and its lower weight. This was made possible thanks to innovative technical solutions that still maintain the same
internal components. Diaphragm technology with the DFC system and replaceable high-pressure seat connector. The
high-pressure valve, manufactured in “tri-materials” allows for improved durability and security. These advances have
made it possible to include conical filters with better filtering power in both the INT and the DIN versions. It features a
preferential intermediate-pressure DFC port for the main second stage hose, as well as three other LP service ports
and two ports for high pressure. All ports have been rearranged in order to offer better positions for the hoses and the
transmitting unit for integrated dive computers.
MV SECOND STAGE
The geometry of these second stages, is based on the VAD patent (A), the famous integrated by-pass. It immediately
led to a compact and streamlined shape, a natural extension of the hose.
Consequently, the exhaust tee (B) is laterally opposed to the supply hose (C). The ergonomic advantage is immediate: a
perfectly symmetrical second stage that can be used on either side.
The wide diameter of the exhaust valve (D) guarantees optimal exhalation effort.
The cover (E) is very streamlines and is secured using three stainless steel screws on the front (F) tightened into
metallic inserts.
The seal on the diaphragm (G) isn’t frontal, but radial, which is much more reliable. Using the MV second stage is a
pleasure.
The reduced weight offers superior comfort without straining the jaw muscles.
Performance, ensures minimal breathing effort even in extreme conditions.
Thanks to the updated VAD, breathing is entirely natural.
Every detail has been meticulously crafted and tested to wed the highest possible quality with simple functionality.
The option to use it freely on either side makes it especially versatile.
